text: &#x2F; Remote<p>SaaS for Nonprofits: Freelance Sales<p>Our calling is to be behind the scenes, using technology to enhance nonprofit impact and sustainability, as well as reducing the distractions and stress on leaders.<p>We&#x27;re in need of freelance sales help in 2017!  We recently launched a product (Donation Spring - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.donationspring.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.donationspring.com</a>) and have started to aggressively promote it.   Additionally, we continue to pitch our overall consulting and development services.<p>What I&#x27;m looking for:<p>- The scope is primarily to find prospects, have initial conversations, identify needs, and provide them as a pre-qualified prospect.
- Someone with sales&#x2F;marketing chops. A sales or account exec career history is helpful, but not a requirement -- we&#x27;ll consider anyone with relevant backgrounds and personality&#x2F;passion alignment.
- Experience&#x2F;familiarity with the nonprofit and church industry.
- Major bonus points to bringing an existing network of nonprofit&#x2F;church prospects.
- Located anywhere in the US.  The more geographically diverse our team can be, the better.
- Freelance contract, part-time, at your own pace.  Pay is a traditional commission based on long-term account revenue (negotiable).
- Fun, easy going, and service-centered heart.  Our primary focus is <i>serving</i> both nonprofit&#x2F;church missions as well as helping their staff in any tech-centric way we can.<p>If that describes you, I&#x27;d love to chat!

text: NYC (Lower East Side)<p>Gig: a frontend engineer, experienced with React&amp;friends. At least 3+ months, with an option for a full-time role after.<p>Hi. I am a self-funded developer working on an enterprise SaaS product that is starting to get traction. The product is used by managers to smarty distribute $10M+ within their company, so there are many fun BI&#x2F;UX&#x2F;workflow challenges.<p>The stack includes all of the current hotness: React, GraphQL&#x2F;Relay, webpack, postcss, jest, offline-first, I18n, d3, etc. I&#x27;ve been building production apps with React since 0.8 and continue to re-evaluate all developments in the field. Frontend fatigue is my jam.<p>I am looking for an upper-mid-level JS developer with React experience to work with day-to-day. The gig would be perfect for a entrepreneurial developer who wants to dive into the deep end to level up like crazy, while watching their work go into production. The rate is so-so ($9k&#x2F;mo), but in return I offer a challenging young project, sharing everything I learnt over 17 years, no BS corporate&#x2F;meetings, a pathway to master the most in-demand front-end tools and technique, and maybe even join something before it blasts off. I can guarantee 3-4 months, then the venture will either explode or implode - either way will be fun to partake.<p>If any of that sounds interesting, drop be a brief note and we&#x27;ll chat. Do you remember ROT13? Say hi to rhtrar7@tznvy.pbz<p>P.S. Because of the nature of the working relationships, unfortunately I can&#x27;t do a remote engagement for this role.

Your World of Text is infinite text wall where people can write and overwrite each other in realtime. You navigate by scrolling, and the available space extends infinitely in every direction. Private worlds can also be created. Launched in 2009, Your World of Text been taught in new media curricula and remains one of the most popular web-art projects, with over 100,000 visitors per month.<p>Your big tasks will be browser performance, multi-user scalability, and fighting spam. Smaller tasks tbd. If the initial engagement works out especially well, I&#x27;m open to the possibility of a longer and more open-ended engagement.

text: Remote (must be available during USA daytime) - PHP + NetSuite API<p>Looking for a PHP developer who has experience integrating with the NetSuite API. This is a one-time gig, probably 20-40 hours. Location does not matter, but this will be more of a collaborative relationship (as opposed to just &quot;throwing a spec over the wall and waiting for it to come back finished&quot;), so good communication skills (English language) and availability during the USA daytime are required.<p>We are building an eCommerce site in the Laravel framework, and much of the customer functionality (pricing, checkout, payment processing, customer accounts) will be integrated with NetSuite. The task will partially be doing the coding and partially teaching other developers how to work with the NetSuite API.<p>Email: hn@jordanlev.com

text: Remote, Bath, England<p>I have a legacy Django app that is slowly being modernised and made more reliable but I could do with ongoing help with the process.<p>A key part of the work is to add minor features and refactor under the cover of tests--a key requirement for anyone getting in touch would therefore be a willingness to write Django&#x2F;Python tests, and to be happy to take extra time on the work to gradually raise the quality of the codebase.<p>As the main developer for the project I&#x27;ll do whatever I can to make it easier for you to do your work, for example you will only deal with me and Github Issues rather than clients further upstream.<p>If you could help me to increase test coverage and quality of this codebase please contact me at stefan@stallic.com. No agencies please!
